The Fedora Mini SIG is a group of Fedora contributors that are interested in Fedora on small devices. Initially aimed at ensuring that the hardware used in devices such as Netbooks and Mobile Internet Devices (MIDs) work out of the box with Fedora. Eventually, we may also include and build a spin which is targeted at these devices through the use of another user interface experience. It could also be used to produce various spins for Gnome Mobile development, Intel's Moblin™ project, Hildon etc

== Current Aims ==

== Current Status ==

−

* Stock Fedora working on current Netbook (generally working well)

+

Fedora Mini is moving forward. We now incorporate the Moblin™ and Sugar user interfaces in two official Fedora Spins.

An overview of the hardware found in the various Netbook/Nettop devices can be found on the [[SIGs/FedoraMini/Hardware| Hardware]] page.

* [http://spins.fedoraproject.org/moblin/ Moblin 2.1]

+

* [http://spins.fedoraproject.org/soas/ Sugar on a Stick]

Some of the devices include:

+

== To the future and beyond ==

−

* [[Netbooks]]

+

−

** [[Acer Aspire One]]

+

−

** [[Dell Inspiron Mini 9]]

+

−

** [[Eee PC]]

+

−

* [[Fit-PC]]

* [[OLPC]]

== Joining the SIG ==

+

Moving forward Fedora Mini will continue to support and run the latest Sugar interface. We're reviewing the MeeGo™ with the intention of including the MeeGo™ UX into a future release of Fedora replacing the current Moblin™ UX. We have some OLPC XO-1s and XO-1.5s and are working to see what is required to get the XO-1 re-supported and the XO 1.5 properly supported. ARM platform support is also on the agenda but that needs more investigation. With the introduction of ARM based SmartBooks and Tablets it will become and important platform for Fedora Mini and Fedora in general.

Joining the Fedora Mini SIG is as simple as being part of Fedora. Once you are a contributor to Fedora, you can join the SIG by adding your name below and communicating with the rest of the team in the usual [[Communicate| Fedora channels]]. There is also a dedicated IRC channel on Freenode: [irc://chat.freenode.net/#fedora-mini #fedora-mini].

+

Other ideas for the Fedora Mini project include support for more embedded architectures as well as Spins or Remixes for MIDS or Set Top Boxes such as a Moovida Media Centre spin.

== How you can help ==

== Getting help and getting involved ==

+

+

At the moment Fedora Mini is primarily maintained by two people. They are [[User:Pbrobinson|Peter Robinson]] and [[User:Sdz|Sebastian Dziallas]]. We need more help!

+

+

We have a couple of communications channels as well as the usual [[Communicate| Fedora channels]]. We have a mailing list which you can [https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/mini subscribe to here] and there's a dedicated IRC channel on Freenode: [irc://chat.freenode.net/#fedora-mini #fedora-mini].

If you have no idea how to help us, here are some proposals where we need help:

The Fedora Mini SIG is a group of Fedora contributors that are interested in Fedora on small devices. Initially aimed at supporting NetBooks, Mobile Internet Devices (MIDs), it could over time be expanded to also cover things such as Set Top Boxes (STBs).
